This simple, light, refreshing salad comes from The Cornersmith Cookbook. It makes the perfect side for fish or grilled meats or just some really delicious bread. Green tomatoes are just unripe red tomatoes; they’re crisp, firm, and sharp, almost like a different vegetable. Sadly, they don’t get used much, and it’s unusual to see them in recipes. At Cornersmith, we used them a lot at the end of spring for green tomato salads, green tomato relish, and pickled green tomatoes. If you’re growing your own tomatoes, just pick them early. If not, try farmers’ markets or specialty fruit and vegetable suppliers. Our local Lebanese grocers sell them by the boxful.
